Larry King nearly lost his interview subject last night when ex-Miss California Carrie Prejean threatened to bail, accusing the CNN host of having asked too many “inappropriate” questions.

The dust-up happened after King transitioned from asking about Prejean's new book and the recent controversy surrounding a steamy video she made as a teenager to why she'd settled with the Miss California pageant after suing for libel and emotional distress.

Prejean, 22, said she would not comment on the “confidential” terms of the settlement. King tried to re-frame his question a few ways.

“You're being inappropriate,” she admonished with each attempt.

After she'd had enough of King's questions, Prejean said: "I think that you are being extremely inappropriate right now, and I'm about to leave your show," UPI reported.
